What are the diamond miles for V11 towards D12?

• A. 24 miles NW SQS
• B. 53 miles
• C. 25 miles NE SQS
• D. 44 miles

Answer: (C)

Diamond miles are the distance markers shown along a Victor airway, indicating how far you are or how far to the next fix along that route. For V11 toward D12, you read these markers starting from SQS along the airway toward D12. From SQS, the diamond mile markers place D12 at 25 miles away in the northeast direction. So the distance is 25 miles and the direction is northeast from SQS, which matches the option stating 25 miles NE SQS. The other distances don’t align with the mile markers on that segment (and some imply the wrong direction), so they aren’t the correct read of the chart for V11 toward D12.
